Masias for sale in Catalonia offer more than just square meters and land. These unique properties are steeped in history, character and the promise of a different pace of life.
Whether you're searching for a rustic retreat, an investment in agrotourism, or a working farm with export licenses, the masia is a gateway to the soul of Catalunya.
What is a masia?
Masias are traditional rural farmhouses found throughout Catalonia, often dating back centuries. The term refers exclusively to rural properties in northeastern Spain because the word "mas" is a Catalan word meaning "agricultural estate", according to the Gran Diccionari de la Llengua Catalana.
You can rural farmhouses in other parts of Spain — but they won't be called a "masia".
The buildings themselves were originally agricultural hubs focused on olive oil production, wheat harvesting, wine pressing, raising livestock and more. Built with thick stone walls and natural materials, they reflect the region's architectural heritage and its connection to the land. You can read find out more in our article on 10 key facts about masias.
Buying a masia in Catalonia
Purchasing a masia in Spain, especially in Catalonia, involves careful research and local knowledge. Properties can range from modest country homes to vast historic estates.
While many are beautifully restored, others offer potential for renovation.
At Cottage Properties, we guide you through the legal and logistical steps:
Define your criteria — location, land size, renovation status, licensing needs.
Work with our legal team to confirm the masia's registration, building permissions, and land use classification.
Understand tax implications, including property transfer tax and notary fees.
Sign a reservation contract, followed by the official deed.
Each stage requires insight into Catalan property law and rural zoning regulations. That’s why buyers work with experts like us.
Rehabilitating a masia: what you need to know
Restoring a masia can be a deeply rewarding journey — but also one that must respect Catalonia’s strict architectural and environmental guidelines. Many masias are protected by heritage laws, requiring the preservation of facades, rooflines and original materials like stone, wood and traditional clay tiles.
According to Catalonia’s official regulations, rehabilitation is allowed under specific conditions. You must tread extra carefully if the masia is listed in the municipal heritage inventory.
Cottage Properties has helped dozens of clients navigate these rules while restoring their dream homes. We have a permanent team of project managers, architects and over 60 construction professionals currently rehabilitating and renovating masias — we can be your partner from property search to rehabilitated home.

Holiday homes: Many international buyers purchase masias as seasonal retreats.
Boutique hotels or restaurants: Rural tourism thrives here, and masias offer authenticity.
